"Marks" were objects or lines on the ground before blocks were used. Marx was German but had a huge influence on Russians, Starlin and Trotsky who interpreted his writing differently and formed opposing parties after the Russians Revolution. Onya is a Russian name. Onya Marks sounds like, "On your marks" The joke implies Marks had a familial link to Russia.

It made every other comedy programme look tired and dull, and opened up wonderful new areas. It was so exciting, and the only drawback is that nothing I can think of since has lived up to the promise it made. Now the world is still a mess, and maybe I’m wrong but I think we have nothing like this now. Oh well....

I feel people that find that funny conflate communism with post modern theories of consumer criticism. Communists don't think that people buy too many things, and communists don't think people ought to share more and be less selfish. Communism is a critique of the mode of production that leads to amassment of wealth in the hands of few while excluding those wo toil to produce that wealth on the other. It is not a critique of consumption of goods.

The reason this sketch makes me laugh is not so much the politics, but because it reminds me of being in a similar position, in the old pub quizzes. The pub quiz was always a popular form of entertainment in the UK ... now there are not so many of them around. But I would sit with my team (at a table with pint of lager) waiting hopefully for a question I could answer (history, geography, zoology etc) which seldom came ! ... it was always football, cricket, tv soaps, or formula one racing ( ... which I know nothing about)!

The importance of sports entertainment (and entertainment generally) must be continually impressed upon the masses. Even grown men are thrilled to wear clothing emblazoned with the name of their Sports Hero. They have been psychologically infantilized. Important to keep everyone distracted, amused, and most importantly, convinced that they ARE aware of current important events. Concentrate on the trivial, ignore reality. As the Western World is culturally and demographically decimated, the unwitting masses are well fed and immersed in frivolity.

@@dragoncrown2029 Just one correction. Civil War was inevitable after the Provisional Government's multiple failings in 1917. The reason Bolsheviks came to power in the first place is because there was a complete power vacuum in Petrograd. The leader at the time Kerensky had no legitimate authority beyond the walls of the Winter Palace, as the historian Orlando Figes liked to say. Some one was going to try and take the charge. It wasn't a matter of if, but when the civil war would occur. Lenin obviously had no reservations about all the horrors Russia would endure, viewing the civil war as the realisation of class struggle.

The bolsheviks had much more popular support than the white guards and you can't deny by no means the huge improvement in life conditions after the civil war, huge increase in literacy rate, massive increase in life expectancy and incredibly quick industrilization.

@John LaFever yeah sure, get mad, why not? Why exactly do you accuse me of having a ' reading comprehension problem'? So you have read the communist manifesto, or did you read about it? And btw, as far as my memory about the book goes, Marx never promised a 'sweet smelling paradise', instead he warned about economical issues, which for a large part came true. And suggested an alternative for capitalism ( which ,as im sure you know ,is just the next step after feudalism, introduced mostly after the french revolution, together with enlightenment). Instead, it's the capitalist creed that says ' you can become whatever you want as long as you work for it', which is not true for most people. Unless you're rich, you're just a puppet, working to make someone else rich. Or read about it here:en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surplus_value
